Penza told how not to become a victim of a new scheme with codes

Residents of the region can become victims of fraud, even on the official website. The head of the company “Cyberbastion” Vladislav Kokuntsykov in an interview with RIAMO warned about a change in the tactics of scammers: instead of hacking systems, they force people to independently provide access.

Attackers under the guise of setting up an account or a new login method ask you to enter a special code on the real authorization page. The person thinks that he is just passing a security check, but in fact confirms someone else’s session. As a result, the fraudster gets full access to the victim’s digital environment.

The main rule of protection is never to enter connection codes at someone else’s request. If you did not start the entry yourself, the procedure should be stopped immediately. If you suspect a hack, the expert advises checking active sessions and registered devices. All unfamiliar recordings must be deleted and the remaining sessions completed. Only personal vigilance can keep the data safe.
